Back exercises. Many people go to physiotherapists with back pain. Here are two exercises that help to relieve pain and reduce stiffness in the back:
•Dear, 1. Lie on your back with both of your legs straight. In this position, bring your left knee up close to your chest. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Return your leg to the straight position. Repeat with the right leg.
•2. Stand up with your arms on your side. Bend to the left side while slowly sliding your left hand down your left leg. Come back up slowly and relax. Repeat with the right side of your body.

Start calcium suppliment and regular taking of 2glass milk morning and evening and medicenes are 1. Shallaki Mr. 1-1 tab 2times a day and 2. Mahanarayana taila apply externally on skin and slight massage 2times a day for 1month regularly.

Exercises for SciaticaSciatica is often distinguished not as a medical condition but as a set of symptoms that underlie a more serious medical concern such as a slipped disc, degeneration of the spine or the lumbar region etc.It is important to note the symptoms of Sciatica, as these are quite distinct -1.Constant pain in one of the buttocks or leg (rarely are both legs affected)2.The pain worsens on sitting3.The pain is often described as a sharp & searing pain similar to a burning sensation4.The pain is often accompanied by a heaviness or numbness that makes movement difficult5.Shifting of postures (sitting to standing and back to sitting) becomes painful and laboriousAn alternative to surgery would be to supplement the oral medication with certain specific exercises.Reflexology, Acupuncture and Chiropractic manipulation are all considered effective to alleviate the pain to a large extent.Patients are often encouraged to partake in daily exercise routine, incorporating strengthening and stretching exercises.The strengthening exercises target the core or abdominal muscles along with the back muscles to provide more support to the back.The stretching exercises will help to “loosen up” the surrounding muscle groups such as the hamstrings, which then allow for more blood and oxygen circulation alleviating the pain and giving the immune system a much needed boost.When patients engage in a regular programme of gentle stretching and strengthening exercises, they can recover quickly (in comparison to those who do not exercise) from the flare ups and over time the painful episodes are known to reduce significantly, both in frequency as well as intensity.Ancient holistic practices such Yoga and Tai-chi are often considered the best form of exercises for the afflicted because of the balanced and slow but controlled movements that complement the ‘breath’ rather than causing further exertion to the already fragile bone density.It is recommended that expert advice be sought and the exercises should be undertaken only under trained supervision. Please do not attempt to “experiment” with Yoga or Tai-Chi on your own, as improper or wrong posture could lead to irreparable damage to the spine.

Hello there, back pain can occur due to numerous reasons, your daily activities, load on your back in your daily routine, your job profile and many more. And yes, if the the cause of pain is not diagnosed or treated, you will lend up in repetitive pain just as you described. The simple reason for this is, any painkiller will only suppress the pain signals conveyed to the brain and you will feel better untill its in blood circulation, they will never treat the actual cause of pain. To be able to get rid of your pain, what I recommend is to go to a good physiotherapist and get your pain assessed, because with the limited information available I can not provide you a diagnosis and hence can not comment on any exercises as such. Physiotherapy can help you get rid of your pain and treat your cause as well hence you will feel better without painkiller, so do not waste time before you see a physiotherapist. Get well soon, take care.

You need to do stretching of your leg muscles before start playing. Also start doing some back exercises to strenghten your muscles. Your muscles might not be able to take up the load during your playing activity. Do adequate warm up and stretching before you start playing.

Running is good. It needs a plain surface with much even surface. Running on roads might hurt your knees. Try to run in a park where there is a walkers lane. Make sure your shoes are well equipped for running. Or go to gym and do thread mill. These are the few options. Hope this helps you.Stay healthy stay fit.☺
